A True Rarity would be an SGS graded coin that did not have an MS70 Label on it  |

PF MS still not a 70. Stewarts right the truly special error would be a SGS label that doesn't have a 70

Forgive me for trying to help out.  That comment rubbed me the wrong way as well. He may know his errors but certainly not his TPGs |

Is the whole coin silver or just the die crack? Here is an accurately (or perhaps a little harshly) graded proof silver quarter that PCGS failed to recognize as an error. They insisted that this coin is as the mint intended it to be.   While SGS may have a problem grading any modern anything less than 70 (even errors), PCGS seems to think that modern errors don't exist, even when the words STATES OF are crossed out by one. Maybe if we get the two companies together we can get accurately graded and properly attributed modern errors. |

Wait till CAC decide to grade modern error. I wonder what kind of color bean they will stick it on the face of the slab?

clairhardesty, I don't believe that is a die crack that you have on your coin. I am not 100% sure what you would call that but definitely doesn't look like a die crack to me

I am thinking a Collar Clash but I have never seen one like that one! Great find!

As to the OP's coin, I would have to say that the holed wood board that the slabbed coin is laying on, is probably in better condition than most coins that SGS pins with a PF-70 or MS-70 grade!

As to clairhardesty's coin I would wonder about the possibility of an incomplete clip. The punch came down and made contact with the strip scoring it but not punching out a blank. Then it was advanced slightly and a full blank was punched out. This would give you a planchet with a arc cut in it that follows the curve of the edge.
There appears to be a fainter matching arc through PLURIBUS UNUM 2009 on the reverse and that would fit with an incomplete clip.
